Missing Aunt - Dudley Road Hospital - Delia Coleman

[zandrac]

Hi, can anyone help with this search.  Delia Coleman, born Co. Westmeath, Ireland around 1910/1914 period, left Ireland to nurse during war years and was never heard from again.  Nothing in War Commissions, Nothing in Death Register.  Last known address was Dudley Road Hospital (no records there for that period).  She was also known as Fanny.

Can anyone help me locate this recently discovered long-lost aunt.  Any suggestions where to look now?

Hello Delia,

I don't know if I can help with a question I find very intriguing - but I do know someone who may be able to suggest lines of action (though you may have already followed them). A researcher who assists with our individual nurse histories for the main SoN site. I will most certainly ask - I will let you have the response here on the board.

An off chance maybe, but one never knows..

Best Regards.
WB.
